Eastern Money Seeks the xest.

The establishment of branch office in this city by one of the great companies the Equitable Mortgage Co.-organized for the purpose of loaning money on western farms is 8 matter worthy of more than pass ing comment The importance of this move : is apparent when 1t is known that statistics show that already over $200, 100000 of eastern money has been invested in western farm mortgages and so far not dollar has been lost of either principal or interest. The last report of the commissioners for savings banks for New Hampshire (which banks hold over SIP, 100000 of these securities) says:
 Foreclosed real estate has increased $40, 600, the foreclosures occurring in New Eng land mortgages It is very seldom that a foreclosure is made on western mortgage, and when such cases occur there are those who are prompt to redeem the mortgage and repay the loan and accumulated expenses to the bank.
 Preston & Bartlett, 737 Chapel street, rep resent the company in this city.

HARTFORD COMPLAINS.

Yesterdays Hartford Times says; The journey of carload of Hartford ladies and gentlemen this week to New Haven to see the American Opera companys presentation of Faust revives the fault finding which had al ready been heard gainst the situation under the New York lease at the Hartford Opera House, which gives an abundance of cheap entertainment this winter, but shuts out the higher class of concerts and opera. And the situation at Allyn Hall shuts out these enter tainments there, too, so that for such things it seems Hartford people must this winter go elsewhere.

William B. Travers.

No man in the country has ever
achieved a wider circle of personal
friends than kindly, witty VIM. b.
Travers of New York, who has gone
to the Bermudas TO pass the balance
of the cold season-perhaps to die.
Some of the stories about him that
are given below have before appeared
in print, but most of them are new.
A Baltimorean met him on Broad
way and the two began a converse
ton.
SPY the way" said the Baltimore
man, "you seem to stutter more
since you left Baltimore and came to
live in New York"
"B-b-bigger place" said Travers.
Another story is that which grew
out of this defect in speech. Mr..
Travers went to see a friend in
Brooklyn and lost his way. He ac-
costed a stranger.
'sIwant to 90 to M-Montague St.
VIII you please show me the way"
"You are going in the wrong di-
rection," said the stranger. THAT
is M-Montague street"
s'Are you m-mimicking m-me r
asked Mr.. Travers with dignity.
"N-no, sir. I'm badly af-afflicted
with an obstruction Of sp-speech."
"Why don't you get cured:" ask
ed Mr.. Travers. "G-go TO DR.,
S-see how well talk. He c-cured
me-"
Still another good thing 81 the
same order Is told. \ dispute arose
over a bid for stock at the call Of the
list in the stock exchange. Mr. Steb-
bins asserted that he had named the
price.
"P-perhaps Mr.. Stebbins g-got
through b-before did, b-but III b-be
hanged if ] d-didn't b-begin first, "
Mr.. Trayers replied
lie got the stock.
Still another Of tine same kind. a
lady asked him the time.
ssS-seyen O'Clock, or will b-be by
the time get it out"
One Of the very best Of the stories
occurred in front Of St. Paul's church,
New York. Dir. Trayers spied a man
selling parrots.
.'H-hold on boys" be said mystic
riously, "we'll have some f-fun."
